    [$] Auto-tuning the kernel

    Description:
    The Linux kernel has many tunable parameters. While there is much advice available on the internet about how to set them, few people have the time to weed through the (often contradictory) explanations and choose appropriate values. One possible way to address this is a project called bpftune , a program that uses BPF to track various metrics about a running system and adjust the sysctl knobs appropriately. The program is developed by Oracle, and is available under a GPLv2 license. Bpftune is currently mostly
    focused on optimizing network settings, but the authors hope that the system is
    flexible enough to be extended to cover other settings.
